Notice: Our irrigation water is down. It will not be repaired until Tuesday, tomorrow, depending on parts needed for the repair. 1-02-2023
Our next board meeting will be on January 9, 2023 at 9:oo a.m. in the Clubhouse.
Calendar Correction: Connie Boeck has volunteered to chair the Christmas Decorating again this year. However, the date has been changed. We will decorate the Clubhouse and landscape on Friday, November 25th. Please meet at 10:00 a.m. at the Clubhouse. Join your friends and neighbors and get in the Christmas Spirit. We always have a good time. We usually need a few ladders and Connie will let us know if we need to bring anything else. Posted November 14, 2022, 12:37 p.m.
Update on Water, service has been restored.
Update to Owners: Announcement: We have received notification from the lab that it is no longer necessary to boil water. Thank you. November 3, 11;43.
Update to Owners: The lab results for the second water line break have NOT been returned. The boil water notice is still in effect. Thank you. Tuesday, 11-1-2022. 2:45 p.m.
REMINDER: All owners, we need your vote on the budget ASAP, regardless of how you vote. In order to hold our budget meeting we must have a quorum. What happens if we don’t have a quorum? We have to set another meeting date, post notice for 14 days, duplicate all the forms and mail them out to all owners again ($.57 USA and $1.40 Canadian). This process will continue at a great expense to us all until we have a quorum and vote on the budget. Please mail your vote today.
The Board of Directors would like you to know that there is nobody on the Board that likes this budget, but bills have to be paid, salaries have to be paid and that is about it. Florida has one of the highest rates of inflation in the nation at 10.8%. Check surrounding counties, as of last week we were at 10.8% and no sign of slowing down despite increased interest rates. Every service we use, every product we buy, has gone up and is still going up. The lawn service hasn’t gone up but we are looking for that to happen. Their work quality has dropped off dramatically. We have no control over our current financial situation. Everyone is being affected.
The Water Plant continues to soak up our funds into the tens of thousands. There seems to be a problem or mulitple problems with it every week. We have had at least 5 different companies work on the problems over the last 8 years. They work on it until they can’t fix it then refuse to come back. None of them have been able to provide all the answers and fix the problems. The real problem is, “it is an old antiquated system”.
Reserve Study: The reserve study is performed by a independent institution that looks at all of our assets and compares that to Federal and State requirements and best practice business norms. Based on their findings and evaluation they recommend necessary steps needed to stay in compliance. If you read the reserve study in your packet (the last page) you read that they are recommending increased contributions to our reserves and a $90,000 assessment, that doesn’t mean we would not need additional assessments in 2023 based on current rates of inflation. The reserve summary was part of your budget packet. Please read it.
The Board, collectively, has studied the data, past and present, and has put together a proposal that can meet our financial obligations and statutory requirements with the increase presented in the budget proposal and without an assessment.
Please send in your vote.
What happens if the budget fails? Good question. The association would continue operating under the old budget and assess the $90,000 plus for the reserves and additional assessments for any bills that could not be paid using reserves or budget line items. Remember that reserves used have to be repaid overtime. 10/25/2022. 2:49 P.M.
Reminder: The water will be turned off for water plant repairs this coming Wednesday, tomorrow, at 9:00 a.m. 10-25-2022, 2:45 p.m.
Break in the Water Main Update: The main has been repaired and boil water notice is in effect until further notice. October 22, 2022 5:34p.m.
Notice: Attention All Owners: There is a water main leak in front of lot 137. We will be working on the leak and at some point we will need to shut the water off in order to make the repair. We will keep you posted. October 22, 2022
Important Information: This coming Wednesday, October 26, 2022 the water to the park will be shut off starting at 9:00 a.m. to do additional equipment repairs. Please let Blue Cypress friends and neighbors know, some may not have Internet or read the posts. Thank you.
Notice: The swimming pool pump motor has been repaired and installed. The pool is open but it will be 36 hours to 48 hours to warm the water and regulate the temperature. Thank you all for your patience. October 21, 2022.
Update on Swimming Pool: The swimming pool motor is under warranty and Mike, owner of Gator Pools, is not charging us labor for taking the motor out and putting it back in. However the motor has to be resealed in the pump. Whatever that cost will be we will have to pay that part of the repair. Best case scenario, the pool will be operational late Friday or Saturday. October 19, 2022
Announcement: Mark and Kim Huffman have donated a Wii video game to the Resort and Mark hooked it up in the Clubhouse. I am not sure what all can be played on Wii but Mark said they had bowling on today. Thanks and I hope otherrs enjoy playing it. October 19, 2022.
Update On Swimming Pool – The swimming pool is still down due to the pump being broken. The pump is not from a local supplier it had to be ordered. The pump is only 5 months old and should be covered under warranty, depending why the motor failed. Mike, the owner of Gator Pools, sent the motor back to the manufacturer and he advised the BOD that he should know something tomorrow, Tuesday, October 18, 2022. Once they determine the problem they can overnight, at least that is the information I was given today. We are looking to purchase a backup pump but I think the last on cost around $6,500.00. October 17, 2022.
Notice: The pool is temporarily closed due to the pool pump not working. This is a pretty new item that we expect to be covered by warranty. Thank you for your cooperation. We apologize for the inconvenience. Friday, October 14, 2022
Attention All Residents: We need everyone’s help today. Please use as little water as possible today, Wednesday. Galene is here making repairs and we need the plant to be dry. Thanks for your cooperation. They will get the repairs done ASAP. October 12, 2022.

Yes Votes 161

Total Votes 185
The Proposal was approved on June 30, 2022, 11:11 a.m.
Announcement: The two new no clog lift station sewage pumps have been installed and the work is complete. 6-01-2022
Notice: As many of you now know there was a cow, really close to the fence, on the farm road that was struck and killed by lightning during the storm a few days ago. Animal Control of Okeechobee has been contacted and they have contacted the owner of the farm and informed of the dead cow and asked that it be removed. Since it is private property they are not allowed to go on the property for this type of incident. Hopefully, the owner will take steps to properly dispose of the animal. 6-01-2022
Lift Station Up Date: Well we have had another first: We have one motor down for good and one motor running but has a broken piece for the casing broken that doesn’t interfere with the operation. These are very old motors. Since we have gone to the cost of pulling the motors we are going to install two new motors and keep the one that is running as a back up. U.S. Water is locating new motors today. We will not be shuttling the water down and we can use our water as needed. This fix was very expensive and we are not done yet. If you haven’t heard what caused our break down I’ll tell you now. As you know our lift station by Gene & Valerie Neely’s home quit working yesterday.
The station pushes the waste from a deep, deep pit in the ground to the WWTP. We only have one station and all waste water and other waste goes to the pit and then to our plant. Yesterday the plant quit. Our backhoe could not pull the pumps from the pit, it did not have a long enough arm to pull the pumps out high enough to remove them from the pit. US Water brought in a boom truck and Boswell brought in a pump truck to pump the sewage from the pit and lift the pumps out. We were told that one of the pumps quit several years ago but the BOD at that time chose not to replace it and we have been running on one pump ever since. Again, the pumps appear to have been put in after one of the hurricanes in the early 2000’s. US Water pulled the second pump, and you are not going to believe this but there was a very large, very dead, opossum stuck in the pump “gross”. How the animal got in our system is a mystery, a very expensive mystery! One theory is the opossum crawled in a gas venting pipe that is outside the pump station and was low to the ground. It will be extended higher above ground and a vented cape placed on it. Anyway, thanks to those that worked on the problem and kept us all informed of the problem and let’s hope it can all be put back together with the new pumps today. Thank you for your patience. May 12, 2022, 9:48 a.m.
Update on Lift Station: US Water is here to pump out the lift station pit and then the will try to clean the pumps, if that does not work the will have to replace them. During this time they are asking that we limit our water use to a bare minimum so they do not have to shut the water down. If they shut the water down and the pressure drops below 20 psi we have to have the water tested with a boil water notice. The costs of the lab tests, in that case, is $800.00. Please limit your use. May 11, 2022 11:50 a.m.
Announcement: Attention All Residents Currently in the Blue Cypress: Our lift station for the waste water is not working. US Water is on the way to see what has to be done and how soon it can be done. They should be here to assess the problem in 40 minutes. At some point very soon we will have to have everyone stop using water, toilets, etc. Anything dumping into the waste system and drains will have to stop. We will have to hire somebody to pump out the lift station pit, pay to dump the waste. If the pumps are out we will have to hire a boom truck to pull the pumps out of the pit, locate and get new pumps here and installed this is work that will need to be contracted out if it is not something that Ted and Charlie cannot fix. Keep you eye on the postings and we will let you know what has to be done ASAP. Please pass this message on to friends and neighbors that may not see this message. Thank you. Wednesday, May 11, 2022, 8:00 a.m.
Announcement: The Office will be closed this Friday, April 29, 2022 due to vacation and Dr. Appointments. If you have an emergency please call a Director. Thank you for your patience and any inconvenience this may cause.
Update on Boil Water Notice: US Water advised that they did not get the sample to the lab until late on Friday. We will have to boil water until we are notified and hopefully that will be Wednesday. Posted – April 18, 2022.
Water is back on but the boil water notice is in affect through Tuesday of next week. posted April 15, 2020.
Emergency Notice: The water will be shut off in 15 minutes! It looks like a four (4) minimum repair time. We will keep you posted.

Update on the water leak Part 2: The plumbers did not find the source of the leak. It appears it is leaking somewhere between the main and the house. The repair will continue tomorrow, Wednesday, April 13, 2022. At some point we will have to shut off the water to the resort in order to make the repairs. We will keep you posted, please let your friends and neighbors that might not be on Facebook, or on BC webpage know. Thank you. Tuesday, April 12, 2022.
Attention Everyone Currently In Blue Cypress. Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 12, 2022 between the hours and 8 – 10 a.m. we will need to turn off the water to the park. We have a leak under an owners concrete. The plumbers must cut and remove the concrete in order to find and repair the leak. The leak is some where between the main and the unit. There is no way to isolate and shut off the water to just that unit or street. We will keep you posted as we learn more. Monday, April 11, 2022.
REMINDER: Sign up for our St. Patrick’s Day Parade Pot Luck, we need to know how many are coming! The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is this Thursday TOO! Lineup will be at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in front of the Clubhouse. After the parade join us for the POT LUCK in the Clubhouse. The Social Club with provide a Brisket, bring your favorite side dish and meet us in the Clubhouse after the parade. THE SIGNUP SHEET IS ON THE BULLETIN BOARD BY THE MAILBOXES.
Notice: Our mowers mowed this past Wednesday. Many yards were missed or mowed and trimmed poorly. I met with Hector Perez this morning and we inspected several houses and he asked if they could mow again this coming Wednesday. We agreed. Hector said we would see a big improvement. 12:40 a.m. 3-05-2022.
Update: We are experiencing discoloration in our water. We have spoken with representatives from Central Water and U.S. Water. The consensus has been that the discoloration and what appears to be sand is being caused by the long period of time much of our park water lines were not in use which allowed sediment to collect in the pipes. That sediment is now being dislodged by water running through the lines on a consistent basis along with total chlorines is essentially clearing the water lines. Everyone should run water before using to make sure your what is clear. This would also apply to your washing machines. The first place you will notice the discoloration is usually in our toilets. 2:00pm, 2-28-2022
Notice: You will see a drop in the water pressure today. We need to flush the lines. We have had complaints concerning particulars in the water. US Water did do a chlorine burn and now we have to flush the lines. We had a phone conference with Central Water, which is the company, that rebuilt our filters is correcting some issues with plumbing and timers. We are also meeting with our operator from US Water today. 2-28-2022-8:30 a.m
Please check you water to make sure your water is clear before doing any laundry, We have to use all the water currently in the lines in order to get to the clean flushed water. Thank you for your patience.
Maintenance Costs Going Up? We need everyone’s help on this. We, all of us, are paying $1,439.16 per month for trash disposal not counting the yard waste we periodically remove from the back of our property. We have been informed we can no longer pack the dumpsters so full and tight. We either have to pay to have the dumpsters emptied more times per week or add another dumpster. The cost per dumpster, currently, is an additional $497.72 per month. Ted uses the tractor’s frontend loader to push the trash down every morning and the main reason the dumpsters are full is not the trash it is due to the boxes that are not being broken down. We have 248 units and we are about 95+% full. Please break your boxes down, remind others that may not read this to break all boxes down, no matter what size they are. Those little boxes add up. Depending on how many months we would need an additional dumpster we could save 3 to 4 thousand dollars per season maybe more pending increasing prices. Waste Management has given us 1 week to fix the problem. Thank you for your help.
NOTICE: Good Morning: The guys are out painting numbers in front of our lots and maybe a couple of road signs. Please do not drive or walk on the numbers. Please give them time to dry and a huge thanks to Charlie, Ted and Jimmy.
NOTICE: The water is back on, the hole is still open at the worksite. The worksite is lined with yellow tap and the orange tractor is in the opening of the hole. It is dangerous, please stay away from the worksite. 1-20-22, 2:35 p.m.
NOTICE: The water will need to be turned off in the entire resort right now. We have had a break near the end of the road going to the. water plant. It is very deep in the ground. At this time we do not know how deep but the last break in the back was 12 foot deep. We will keep you posted. 1-20-2022
Notice: The power to the irrigation system is not working. We cannot keep the pumps running. Part of the resort is without irrigation to our yards as well as part of the golf course. We will most likely be without irrigation water until Monday. Domers, Inc. worked on it today after we exhausted everything we knew to do. They thought it was fixed but this evening we had the same problem. 12/30/21
Notice: We had a freezer in the fish cleaning station burn out. After shopping online and at their stores we could not find a freezer at Don’s Appliance’s, Home Depot, Best Buy or Lowe’s. They would not even let us order one because they could not guarantee they would get one. I got a tip that they might have one at Glades here in Okeechobee and we were able to purchase the only one they were getting right off the truck. Thanks to Greg and Lynette Christenson for the tip. 12/30/2021
Lock your stuff up. I received a call from the Sheriff’s Department and was told that there were two golf carts stolen from a resort on 441 SE last night. Did anyone have anything stolen last night? Please check your neighbors are your own thing. Keep everything locked up. Spread the word. 12-22-21

Attention: We have a major waterline break in the park and the water has been turned off. We will keep you posted. 11-10-2021, 9:30 a.m.
Notice: Over the next few days you will see a change in the water color while the system is going through another set of major changes. The BOD has contacted a company on the coast and they have agreed to work on our water plant.
As you know we have tried, without success, to get a local Okeechobee firm to fix our system. The BOD has tried all sumer long to hire a company, any company, to come and diagnose and do whatever it takes to get the plant running correctly. The fix by Superior Water was short lived. They tell us they will come out and then don’t show, call or return our calls to them. American drilling has been equally evasive. We used both of these companies last season.
James with US Water worked with the BOD to get Central Water to come to look at our system. Central Water has been maintaining Ancient Oak’s water plant for a number of years and come well recommended by Ancient Oaks and U.S. Water. They came to look at our system and identified several issues with our plant that are keeping it from working the way it should. They have agreed to fix our plant and take us on as customers long term. They started making changes today. They told us up front that there are delays in getting parts and deliveries but they have parts they can use until ours can be delivered.
Blue Cypress has to have a reliable working source of drinking water and that is what we have been working on since January 2021. This company is two hours away from BC but since they serve Ancient Oaks they were willing to take us on as customers too.
The Board is aware of your frustration and we are doing everything we can to find and retain a company that we can depend on. We hope this is it. Please be patient as they work through the repairs and install the needed parts. Thank you. 10-25-2021.
Thanks to all those that helped repair the water leak today. 10-21-2021.
NOTICE: The water is off in the park. We have a major leak that is being repaired. Maintenance is working on it now. We will keep you posted. 10-21-2021
Good Morning Blue Cypress: I hope it is a great day wherever this message finds you. By now everyone should have received a ballot and voting instructions on the Budget and on the Mini Golf Course question. Unless you intend to vote at the meeting your proxy needs to be mailed back now. As you know mail service is not what it used to be. It takes much more time for mail to get from point A to point B.
By law, we cannot vote on the proposed budget without a quorum of owners present and by proxy. Please, regardless of how you vote, mail your ballot back in today so we can have a meeting and a vote. When you choose not to vote you are voting NO.
If you are present for the vote you do not need to mail in your ballot. You can drop in the lock box in the office or bring it with you to the meeting.
If you did not receive ballot please contact the BC Office and they will get one to you immediately.
For those that have voted or are voting, thank you for helping. If we do not get enough ballots and meeting attendance for a quorum there will be more mailings.
The proposed budget has no increases which means no increase in our maintenance fees.
If you have questions you can call Cindy Yoder, thank you Cindy, the office, or a BOD member. Wed. October 20, 2021.
Notice: The Board of Trustees appointed Ed Turner to fill the unexpired term of David Jodoin. Dave will be missed, he was an extremely hard worker and his efforts are appreciated. Let’s give Ed a great Blue Cypress welcome and wish him well. His contact information will be distributed ASAP. Posted 9-13-2021

Water Break Update: The water had to be shut off at 8:50 a.m. this morning. There were still two houses without water. They could not do that yesterday due to the severe storm. We will let you know as soon as the problem is repaired. posted August 10th, 8:10 p.m.
Water Break Update: The waterline break has been repaired and the water is back on. US Water was on site and there is no boil necessary. Our thanks to Ted, Paul, and Charlie and others that helped too in such bad weather conditions. Posted Monday, August 9, 2021, 1:00 p.m.

Water Plant Update, Saturday, July 31st:
The pump was replaced today. The pipes were sanitized. There is NOT a boil water order. The system will need to stabilize while we use the water in the storage and pressure tanks as well as lines throughout the resort.
Normal usage may resume. Please pass this information to your neighbors that may not have Internet or Facebook. Thank you for your patience. The Water Control Panel concerns will be addressed in the coming weeks but should have no effect on usage.
Water Plant Update for Wednesday: The new well pump should be installed Thursday, it was scheduled for today but the part did not arrive. The system is working on a much smaller temporary pump. We will let you know as soon as the work is complete. This is not the same pump and motor that went out in May.
As a safety precaution we are asking everyone to run your water to make sure our lines are clear. Run your washer at least one complete cycle before doing any laundry. Posted July 28, 2021
Water Plant Update: All residents, the new well pump should be installed tomorrow. We will let you know as soon as the work is complete. This is not the same pump and motor that went out in May. Once we get well number 1 up and running properly we will let everyone know. Again, we ask everyone to run your water to make sure our lines are clear. Run your washer at least one complete cycle before doing any laundry.
All residents, we are continuing to have water plant issues. We are asking everyone to avoid doing laundry until the system is fixed and running properly. We hope that will be no later than Wednesday. When the system is fixed we are asking everyone to run their washer empty for at least one complete cycle. We will keep you posted as we correct the problems. Thank you.
Attention residents in Blue Cypress Now: Our submersible well pumps are down. The water was down for several hours but has been temporarily fixed. We hope to have it permanently fixed by this coming Wednesday. Thanks to Charlie and Dave for getting water back in the park. posted 7-23-20121
In compliance with the Governor’s directive/declaration made yesterday May 4, 2021, all restrictions concerning CoVid – 19 have been suspended until July 1, 2021, at which time the Governor will sign a bill into law requiring all CoVid – 19 restrictions be ended. Blue Cypress Amenities are not open. The CDC still recommends wearing masks in large groups or close proximity to others. There are CDC guidelines (recommendations) for fully vaccinated persons and non-vaccinated persons. Blue Cypress Personnel will still sanitize amenity areas daily, make hand sanitizer available and have spray sanitizer for amenity furniture.

Thanks – We had to dig a new, deeper, ditch at the WWTP today. Charlie called a few of us and we were able to get it done in between the rain this morning and the wind all day long. There was dirt and sand blowing everywhere but we did get it done. Thanks to Paul, Charlie, and Jerry for the help. I quickly remembered why I hate shovels. Please avoid that area. Galene will lay a new 4 inch line tomorrow, weather permitting. Posted 02-01-2021
Immediate Notice to Owners: For those of you that have been following the story on the dogs that are running around BC at night. Okeechobee County Animal Control has been contacted. The owner has agreed to keep them on his property but they are in the park again right now. They are all over the park. I could not out run them in my cart. They could and did catch me several times. They were very friendly and had collars and responded like an indoor dog. However, who can say what they would do if they ran into another dog? They are running together as a pack. I found them at the fish house. I drove as fast as I could around the resort and could not lose them. Please be careful letting your dogs or cats out. Keep them on a lead or leash. I spoke with Officer Samuel Madina at Okeechobee Animal Control. The owner has gates and fencing at the front of their property so we think they are coming across the weir. Officer Madina said if the owner does not keep the dogs off our property they will set traps to capture the dogs and they will take them into custody, give the owner a citation and fine him for letting dogs run at large and return them to him or her. He also said there is no county law or ordinance that says that domestic animals or otherwise have to be on a leash. There are strength in numbers. Call Okeechobee Animal Control to express your concern. We do not want anything to happen to the animals we just want them off the property. The BOD will call Officer Madina again in the morning. In the mean time, protect your animals. These were very friendly with me but I did not have our dogs with me. Take caution and be prepared. If you have good pictures of the dogs, the officer would like to have them. The officer also asked us to be sure that the farm is in Okeechobee and to get the address. We will do that in the morning too.
Help Notice: The BOD had a meeting with the waste water treatment plant project manager today. He asked us to post a notice concerning items that will stop up the check valves on the new plant. He said they are getting disposable face-masks, sanitizing wipes/towelettes and feminine products that do not degrade in the digester and they are clogging up the valves and will stop the WWTP. Please put those items in the trash. Thank you for your cooperation. Posted 01-26-2021
BOD Notice: We had a spill at the Waste Water Treatment Plant today. The grey tank ran over. This was NOT sewage, thank goodness. This was treated water waiting to be released into the drain fields. It was an OPERATOR ERROR, not a problem with the plant. The operator put the system on backwash and left without turning it off. It caused the treated water to run over the top of the tank. Thankfully, Ted and Charlie knew how to fix the problem. Thanks to Charlie McFarland for helping me out. Thanks to the Pe’tanque players for being alert and a special thanks to Barb Barth for reporting the problem to the office. Posted 01-20-2021

Answer to Water Question: The BOD has had inquires about the water and we did post an explanation as to why the water was yellow and may change over the next few days online yesterday. However, Superior Water adjusted it again today. It should get much better over the next 48 to 72 hours. Superior Water is looking for that optimum setting that will give us the best water our system can produce. Today they made some adjustments on a leaking water valve and that is why you see so much water on the ground at the water plant. They still have some additional fittings that are creating small seeping leaks. Superior is going to replace them for us at no charge. These were leaks that have been there for some time.
The BOD did learn some facts about the water when we met with US Water this morning. Our system uses a filtering media in the filters to clean our water much like our house water softners just on a much larger scale. It also uses water softener salt, chlorine and ammonia. When the system is working correctly and the ammonia is added and gives the water a yellow tinge color. The ammonia is a necessary additive. We hope to have James at on of our meetings to further explain this process. U.S. Water does more than test our water each day. Blue Cypress has to have a licensed WWTP and WTP operator in order to operate the WTP and the WWTP. We use James who is licensed and he works for US Water.
BC is responsible for purchasing the products we need at the WTP. Maintenance personnel monitor the plant and put in the salt, water levels, etc. but U.S. Water (James) puts in the chlorine and ammonia in the proper amounts necessary to comply with all standards and tests the water.
The Waste Water Treatment Plant and the Water Treatment have to work in order for the Florida Department of Health and the Department of Environmental Protection to approve our systems which allows us to occupy Blue Cypress. I hope this answers some of your questions.
Water Notice:Superior Water was here this morning and adjusted the system. Your water should look significantly better over the next 48 to 72 hours. Some owners have already reported that their water is clearer. US water is also conducting a chlorine burn. Again, clean the screens on your facets. I would check them to make sure that they are clear of any thing that might be present in our supply lines or your own filters. posted 01-04-2020.
Notice to All Owners: I am very sad to report that Jacob “Jake” Dunaway, Lot 225, passed away 12-31-2020 here at his home in Blue Cypress. Jake will be greatly missed by his friends, neighbors. Posted 1-02-2021.
Bruce Alliger Update: I know many of you have inquired about Bruce. Bruce says, “I am doing pretty good. I need to have some surgery my carotid artery which they are doing at Martin North next Tuesday and hopefully I will be home next Wednesday. I will try to let everybody know what’s going on”. Let’s keep Bruce in our thoughts and prayers and Sherry too!
– Posted 1-02-2021 at 1;30 p.m. Notice To All Residents: The irrigation pump has been turned off on half of the resort. There is a break in the main irrigation supply pipeline under part of the home on lot 82. We have located the leak, and dug an access trench and hole. The line has been cut and prepared for the splice. We cannot get the repair part until Monday. Thanks to Sam Martin and Sherry Ivie for letting me know there was a leak and thanks to Charlie McFarland and Ted Shaw for digging it out. Due to it’s location it all had to be dug out by hand, no fun! Posted 12-31-2020
Update: The BOD would like to update owners on a few current issues.
-
Our oldest John Deer Gator’s engine is out and needs to be replaced. The estimate to repair it is $3,000 plus labor. We would like to purchase a used machine. John Deer, Kubota, If you know of a used machine please let the Board know.
-
The WTTP plant stopped working twice on Saturday. Once in the morning. Two breakers were tripped. An FPL truck was seen in the park that morning and after it left we found the tripped breakers. Does anyone know why the FPL truck was here? We suspect it had something to do with the breakers being tripped. We had an additional electrical problem Saturday evening. Again, we had a brief loss of power that we suspect knocked the plant out. Thanks to Jennifer Wagner for alerting us to the problem. We were at the plant at 9:15 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. It was really cold out there. Thanks to Charlie and David for staying out there with me and Thanks to James (US Water) for getting here and getting us going again. If anyone has information about the FPL truck or the brief power outage, please let us know. We are now looking into a fail safe and an alarm to guard against anything like this in the future.

Water Plant Notice: Charlie and Nadine reported that Superior Water has REALLY finished their work on the water treatment plant. We are back to where we throught we were on Friday. We have to use this 35,000 gallons of water and the water in the pressure tank in order to get to the new filtered water. The water should get better each day. US Water will be monitoring the water’s progress everyday. Thank you for your patience. 12-21-2020
Water Treatment Plant: Just spoke with Superior Water Works and they said the apologize for the inconvenience and will be done with our system today. I will keep you posted and let you know when they are finished. posted 12-21-2020
Correction NOTICE: US Water was just here and checked our water system and told Nadine that our system is still on bypass, we are not on the new filters or chlorinators. We were not issued a boil water notice. If we get a notice to boil water we will post it on line, on the bulletin boards and put the boil water barrel out.
US WATER contacted Superior Water and they told US Water that they were called out on an emergency and had to leave before they could finish the transfer. They will be back in the morning.
Sorry for the confusion. We were not notified of this until 30 minutes ago. We still have to have U.S. Water perform the “Chlorine Burn” and they cannot do that until Superior is done. We will let you know when we are back on the filtering system. Clear your facets screens to make sure your water is coming through a clean screen. Posted 12-20-2020 @ 3:32 p.m.
Update: The work on the Water Treatment Plant has been completed. They will be back Monday to make sure it is functioning properly. We have a 35,000 gallon tank that we need to get through to get to the new filtered water. We still have to have U.S. Water preform the Chlorine Burn. That is still a few days out. The water should be getting better each day. Posted: 12-19-2020
Reminder: Water Plant Repair: The BOD passed a motion at the last Board meeting to have Superior Water Replace 3 non-working valves on the softener heads, change out the filtering media to a high volume media, replace three non-working chlorination pumps. We will also have a chlorination burn conducted by US water and open the blow out valves that will further clean out our supply pipes throughout the park. The fact that so many people are not in the park lends itself to water standing in the pipes for long periods of time and creating a bad water environment. The work has already begun and hopefully will be completed today or first thing next week. Posted: 12-18-2020

The Water System is back on. The pressure should increase throughout the day and evening. We will not need to boil water because there was no break in the line. Thanks to Ted and John for their work. James from US Water and American Drilling. Not a great way to spend a Sunday but we appreciate you guys getting it fixed. posted 1:20 pm, 10-13-2020
Water Treatment Plant Update, 11:50 a.m., Sunday, US Water and American Drilling have isolated the problem and it is a new problem in a new area of the plant. A solenoid broke down. That part has to be replaced and then they have to check to make sure that was the only problem. Fill the supply tank and the pressure tank. If that is the only problem we will have water soon.
Update: For those of you that still have water, the supply tank is empty and the pumps are off and the wells are not working. It seems it is an electrical issue. The water you are now using is from pressure tank side of the system. Once it is used up there will be no water until we get the electric to the controls back and the wells and pumps are working. American Drilling should be here very shortly. U.S. Water will be here in 2 hours.
Emergency Announcement: Our water is down, both wells have quit working. Ted is working on them but we cannot leave the pumps on. This will burn up the pumps. American Drilling is on the way. Thanks to those who called to let us know there was a problem. 12-13-2020.
Announcement: The irrigation water leak has been repaired and is back on. Thanks guys. 12-11-2020
Emergency Announcement: Our water in the entire park is off. A water line blew off the 35,000 water supply tank during the night and we are without water. The repairs are being made now and we will then need to fill the tank. We will have the water back on and the pressure back up ASAP. Thank you for your patience. 12-8-2020
Notice: Due to the pandemic and everything else our residents have had to endure during this time the Board has not sent out any compliance letters for the lack of general outside maintenance to owner’s lots and units However, with no change in sight the Board needs to enforce our regulations. If you have nobody hired or taking care of you property it is time for you to do so. Waiting until you return is not an option. This notice is to serve as a reminder that maintenance is mandatory. The Board is receiving complaints from other owners about the unkept condition of many of their neighbors homes. Owners must arrange for maintenance on their property and unit even while they are away. Regulations #8., Page D6- Condition of Site – Members and renters must maintain their site in a neat, clean and orderly condition. This includes removal of dirt, mold, mildew and weeds from the RV and any other structure on the site. #9 Storage – No outdoor storage including non-functioning vehicles, boats or golf carts of any kind except for bicycles, barbeques, and smokers. Maintenance needs to be completed immediately. We thank you for your attention to the maintenance on your property. Letters will be sent out from the office notifying individual owners of their need to maintain specific areas. Thank you. posted 8-13-2020
Announcement: Spoke with JD Sullivan, the project manager for our Waste Water Treatment Plant project from Galene, this afternoon. He said that Galena is having two custom made enclosures made to cover the blower motors and dampen the sound. We are hopeful this will be the remedy for the louder and bigger blow motors.
The entire system is very new technology and does not work like the old system even though they are doing the same job.
Galene plans to complete the project in the next two to three weeks. They will install the sound dampening units, complete the punch list items that still need to be addressed (i.e. stairs, paint touch up, remove the remaining old tanks, level landscape, replace the fencing and train our maintenance personnel). posted 12-04-2020
Announcement – For those of you that tried to attend the meeting through Zoom, you have our deepest apology. Our Internet in the Clubhouse went off line. We do not know why. It was working fine Friday at 10:00 am when it was tested. Sometime between then and 10:00 a.m. today it broke down. Dave tried to run it by his hotspot of his phone but the passcode was listed as Vggjvi and it was actually Vqgjv1 (the first g should have been a q).

Update: Well, the large amount of rain is going to have an impact on our next concrete slab schedule and our new tanks are still in Miami but the good news is, our new tanks are due to be delivered onsite next Wednesday.
This morning two Board members, Dave and Charlie, started out early and drove to Miami to see our new WWTP for themselves. It is a relief to know they are really there. Thanks for making the trip guys. Thanks Dave for the report. posted 9-10-2020

Waster Water Treatment Plant Update: We are now waiting on the concrete slab to cure out (complete the drying process). Once the concrete is cured, (in a week to ten days), the sewer plants will be delivered to Blue Cypress. One will be plumbed and put in service. The other will be stored on our property, next to the other one, until the rest of the old plants parts and pieces have been removed, the ground prepared, rebar installed, concrete poured and cured. We have plumbing and electrical service to be put in place too. Then the second plant will be put in place, plumbed and put in sync with plant one. With a little luck this will all fall in place.

Update on the WTTP project: It was dry enough today to get the concrete slab poured. We need 5 to 7 days of cure time on the concrete and we will be ready to set in the first new tank. 08-29-2020.
Update: Good Morning: It’s Thursday morning and Charlie reported that the rebar is scheduled to be installed today and concrete will be poured on Friday, depending on the weather. We’re hoping that we can get this first slab done yet this week. 🙏 posted 08-27-2020.
Update on the WTTP project. Forms for the concrete slab were built and put in place today. The rebar is supposed to installed tomorrow and I believe Charlie reported the concrete is scheduled for Friday. Keep your fingers crossed and say your prayers that the storms and bad weather miss Okeechobee. Posted Tueday, August 26, 2020
Announcement: If you have been by the construction site for the new WTTP and saw parts of the tank below ground we wanted to let everyone know that the bottom will not be removed. It has been or will be cut down 7″ below grade. It will be pumped out, filed with 12″ of dirt at a time, compacted after each 12″ of dirt until filled, then reinforcement steel bars will be put in place and the concrete will be poured. Everything is now dependent upon the weather and manpower. The tanks are due to be off loaded in Miami this week for final testing lots of work left to do, we are just glad to see the work is in progress. Nadine and Charlie reported that JD from Galene was in BC today and told them that the concrete will be 12″ thick, with 6″ of it being above grade/ground. They will use gravel to level it out and avoid a step up. Thanks to you both along with Susie and Dave for keeping a daily eye on the progress and thanks to Valerie for keeping the pics coming. JD called Sunday to update us on the coming week. Not many companies would do that on Sunday. JD Sullivan has been very helpful getting to this point. We are hoping the rest of the project goes as well. posted 08-24-2020.

Plants should arrive in Miami by end of next week for electromechanical installations and testing. Plants are drained and cleaned out. Have to pump out rain and I plan on doing that with the new pump we bought on Thursday. Posted 8-11-2020
Update on WTTP: Demolition is scheduled to start tomorrow, Monday morning, August 10th, on the tank to be removed. From this point all work will be dependent on the weather and the availability of parts that have been hard to get due to the virus. Let’s hope we can get this in and operational in the coming weeks. Once the old tank has been removed the ground preparation will being along with plumbing, electric and concrete preparation and installation. Posted August 9, 2020

Blue Cypress Plant Installation Update – Provided by JD Sullivan
•All subcontractors are onboard. Demolition will start as soon as the WTTP plants arrive in our Miami facility scheduled in next two weeks. Delayed due to Covid shut down by 1 week.
• When plants arrive in Miami Galene will commence switching over from our existing plant 1 to existing plant 2 and draining existing plant 1 with possible pump out, if needed.
•Old Plant 1 will then be cut to ground level and the site will be backfilled and compacted.
•Upon completion of ground preparation, the concrete contractor will form slab 1 and install steel rebar. Concrete poured and leveled. After 4-5 days, weather permitting, New Plant 1 will be lifted onto slab one.
•New Plant 1 will be plumbed and wired to existing panel and pumped from existing plant 2. Existing plant 2 will then be emptied and steps 2, 3 and 4 repeated.
•Existing sand filter, EQ tank and the discarded tank at the water plant will be lifted by crane onto a lowboy and removed.
•Start up and training for new system 2-3 days planned.
Galene has already started to receive electromechanical equipment at their Miami shop including 4 IFAS filter systems, control modules, blower components, switches, wiring and piping. Galene hopes to have plant photos sent from manufacturing plant tomorrow morning, Friday, July 24, 2020, and will forward to you us ASAP.
JD Sullivan will be on our site on Tuesday, July 28, 2020, with electrician to start marking tanks for demolition. post 7-23-2020
WTTP Update: Galene is putting the finishing touches on tank number 1. We are still receiving reports that production is on schedule and will remain on schedule unless there are restrictions placed on them due to CoVid-19. The other consideration is the weather in relation to preparing the site and pouring the concrete. July 7, 2020
NOTICE:
The Board has two temporary employees now working in the resort: 1) Larry Laoretti and 2) Charles Hamilton. Larry will be working on the golf course with the help of Brian and volunteers. Charles will be working primarily with the Water Treatment Plant and the Waste Water Treatment Plant along with Brian. June 27, 2020.
Blue Cypress is not the caretaker of the property in question. Contractors/owners or anyone in the park that dumping construction materials in that area is doing so at their own risk and responsibility even if they have permission from the owners. The resort employees, volunteers, committee members or Board of Directors cannot grant anyone permission to dump or burn on Sunset Waters Property.
The BOD was given the following information, it is not an all inclusive list and should not be the only reference anyone would use to determine appropriate burning:
Wood piles greater than 8ft. in diameter need authorization from the Florida Forest Service in order to burn. You must have suppression equipment on hand and meet setback requirements. It is illegal in Florida to burn treated lumber, plastic, rubber products, tires, pesticides aerosol containers. Never burn on windy days, never leave a fire unattended and do not leave a fire until it is completely out.
Escaped waste burning debris is the number one cause of fires in Florida. Treated wood has arsenic, formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals that have been identified as pollutants of air, ground and water tables. It is impossible to safely recycle. Painted, varnished and pressure-treated wood should not be burned in a fireplace or fire pit. To dispose of it you will have to take it to the local landfill.
NOTCIE: The BOD is involved making arrangements to have the Water Treatment Plant, Waste Water Treatment Plant, and the Golf Course taken care. The new WTTP, according to JD Sullivan, Galene representative, is on schedule and should be starting in approximately 20 days depending on how CoVid-19 has affected production along with the weather.
Notice: Monday, yesterday, two of our maintenance employees resigned their positions without notice. The BOD will be working with all resources, inside and outside the resort, to fill the vacated positions.
Our immediate needs will be the daily routines at the waste water treatment plant and water treatment plant along with continued maintenance of the golf course and pool. The BOD will do their best to see that your services are not interrupted.
On behalf of Blue Cypress, we wish these individuals well and thank them for their service.
Notice: UPDATE on the WWTP. The project is still on schedule. Galene should be onsite by mid to late July and they are still projecting completion before the start of the coming season. Keep your fingers crossed, we need some dry weather so the water table will do done which will them to excavate our site with very little pumping to remove water.
Notice: There will be a Board Meeting Monday, June 22, 2020 at 8:30 a.m. in the office to read and adopt additions, corrections and revisions. If adopted the new rules will be mailed out to all owners. This will be a meeting by phone conference which meets all the requirements under the “Emergency Powers Act”. The meeting minutes will be posted.
Notice: The BOD will meet to discuss and/or adopt new rules on Friday, May 29, 2020, at 8:30 a.m. in the office. This will be a meeting by phone conference which meets all the requirements under the Emergency Powers Act. Meeting minutes will be posted.
Attention: The AED (defibrillator) has been placed in the hallway across from the water fountain by the Clubhouse restrooms and showers.
Announcement: The WWTP construction project is in full swing. The engineers have preliminary drawings for the plant. Galene’s engineers have now been on site and continue to evaluate our plan. The plan is in the hands of the DEP. We can go no further than the planning stage until DEP gives us a modified permit for the plant.
Notice: Please pay your assessment (for the new Waste Water Treatment Plant) as soon as possible. Paying your assessment will avoid additional costs to each of us by not involving a financial institution and paying an interest charge along with other charges in securing the funds. It will also keep us from having a lean on any of our property. The amount of the “Special Assessment” is $662.66. We will pay for the plant be using reserve funds and the special assessment. Please pay in the office.
Announcement: Friday afternoon at approximately 2:30 p.m. a broken valve to one of our lots was discovered after the yard had been flooded. The break was under a concrete pad and the concrete had to be removed before the pipe could be repaired. If you noticed a drop in your water pressure it was do to the “blow off” valve being opened to reduce the water pressure while the repair was being made. Maintenance got the water to the lot turned off just before dark and had to complete the repair Saturday morning. Our thanks to Rich and Jose’ for getting the repair made.
Breakfast in the Clubhouse Saturday Morning, price is just $5.00. The food is good and the conversation is even better. We hope to see everyone there to support the social club. The breakfast is sponsored, prepared by our Petanque players.
There will be no committee reports

Update on the Waste Water Treatment Plant – JD Sullivan
Information: The modification to the system vote by the members present was a straw vote only. In this case the BOD voted, after the straw vote, to proceed with the modification. The Board is looking into all of BC options concerning the waste water treatment system. Those that attended the meeting were encouraged to ask all the questions and comment on all aspects of the modification. The straw vote was an overwhelming majority to proceed. Time is critical, BC must act now or lose the option to modify the system with a free used clarifier. Blue Cypress has to cover the costs to move it from the Lake Suzy location, prepare the tank to be put in service and connect it to our current system. We still have to use the large tank as a contact tank, not the trolley system in the tank. The tank itself needs work to remain in service as the contact tank. If we do not proceed with the modification we will not do anything at this time. Our trolley system is nearly 60 years old. The technology in the clarifier system opposed to the trolley system is well advanced. At least two of the BOD members, myself included, were not aware that the old tank would need to be used along with the new clarifier. The current systems railing are nearly rotted through and are, in my opinion, not safe. We will be replacing them too and we will replace them with aluminum railings given to us from the Lake Suzy location. The total cost should not exceed $125,000 versus a new system at a cost of $600,000.00 to one million dollars and then some. The Board wants to get all the information we can in a very short time. Lake Suzy has to have the clarifier removed now and if we can’t do it they are going to cut it up and scrap it. We are working as fast as we can to gather information from those that can assess the condition of the tank. We will keep the membership posted as to our findings.
Following up on the testing, I contacted TANK engineering and spoke with an office manager and she said that one of the engineers would contact me today, Monday, but the holidays have put them behind. So, far, I have not heard from them. The office manager indicated that they do testing and probably could get it in done in the mont of January but not by the end of the first week in January. Posted Monday, December 23, 2019.
WWTP (sewage Plant) Update – As a couple of the Directors stated in the meeting. We were never informed that the current clarifier would still be needed. The contact/chlorination tank would still need to be used. The amount to a modification and one additional clarification tank.
The tank in question is a 60 year old tank. Scott Sebor from Water Solutions said the part of the tank holding the water and processing it is not the problem, it is the top of the tank, with provides strength to the tank, is in need of some costly repairs. The filteration tank is also in need of repair. This was refurbished about 2 years ago but the surface was not prepared properly and some of the steel is delaminating.
Spoke with Saltis Engineering, David Bolem, he does not do that testing and added that it was highly unusual to test the tank, The bottom of the tank is in the ground and not exposed to air. Any problems could be repair with a steel patch and weld but problems are very unlikely. He gave me the name of TANK Engineering. He said to ask them they can test the tank.
Important Notice – There is a Board meeting in the Clubhouse, Monday, December 16, 2019, at 10:00 a.m.,for the express purpose of updating the Board concerning the Clarifier.

Notice: As we begin another great season everyone in Blue Cypress should be aware that over the summer and in recent weeks we have had a few thefts. Some items were not cheap but they were single items that are easy “grab and go”. A couple of things come to mind: How did the thieves know where these items were? They have to have access to the park. Personal items in plain view can be seen by anyone driving through the park since we are wide open to everyone. Some of these items have been in the rear of our homes, which means the thieves have had a reason to be in the rear of our homes, (i.e, workers, guests, and residents “not accusing anybody”, just stating the obvious). Let’s face it, we are easy targets. We need to take some precautions to help ourselves and make stealing in our resort less attractive. A. Keep your valuables put away at the end of day B. Lock storage areas, stay alert and aware. C. Keep your eye on strangers in the park and report any suspicious activity to the police first and the BOD as soon as possible. We have a right to report and have the Sheriff’s department checkout anything that looks wrong or out of the ordinary. D. Watch each others property. Keep record if you see something “See Something, Say Something”. You can always use your cell phone for pictures. If someone is scoping out your neighbors house or lurking around our streets call and warn your neighbor. You may have more and better ideas. Share them and be good to each other. 😎
Notice to all residents: It is that time of year when many of our properties are in need to care and sprucing up. Trees and shrubs and other landscaping are in need of trimming and our siding is turning green and needs power washed. If you have someone that is taking care of your place please check with them to see if yours has been taken already been taken care of. Proper care and cleaning is the responsibility of each property owner and is part of our rules and regulations. The Board is currently in the process of sending letters to those owners whose property is in need of attention.
We have several individuals in our resort that provide these services. The Board of Directors appreciates your attention to your property needs and in compiling with the rules and regulations. Thanks to all and safe travels to each of you as we return to our winter home.
NOTICE: Access to our financial reports and information by Florida Statute are restricted to unit owners. Florida Statute 718.111(12) states, “The association’s website must be accessible through the Internet and must contain a sub-page-web portal, or other protected electronic location that is inaccessible to the general public and accessible only to unit owners and employees of the Association”.
